Why? The present paper begins to establish the role of individual differences and social context in <em>hypodescent<\/em>, the process of assigning multiracials the status of their relatively disadvantaged parent group. Specifically, in two experiments, we found that individual differences in <em><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Social_dominance_orientation\" target=\"_blank\">social dominance orientation<\/a><\/em>\u2014a preference for group-based hierarchy and inequality\u2014interacts with perceptions of socioeconomic threat to influence the use of hypodescent in categorizing half-Black, half-White biracial targets. Importantly, this paper begins to establish hypodescent as a \u201chierarchy-enhancing\u201d social categorization.<\/p>\n<p>Read or purchase the article <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0022103113000966\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Status Boundary Enforcement and the Categorization of Black-White Biracials Journal of Experimental Social Psychology Available online 2013-04-23 Arnold K.
